snowy
You know Thursday
Why are you so gassed dude just right up and down the stairs dude
I've been sitting all day and then I was playing video games sitting more and then it was like
Up and down with it I didn't work out before this oh
Dude what did you do? It's going to people just kept calling me. Oh for work shit. Yeah. No, no just personal
Just in general work and then like you ever end work and then just people just call you and just don't get
Time to just like personal calls where people will be like hey, how's it going just to check it?
And it ends up being like a two-hour call exactly. Yeah, and like I love those people. Yeah, it's like shit
Dude, I just need a second it fucking happens man. I feel you I was gonna ask I was the gym
But no, no, so that was just warm up reps over there that you were doing on the bench. Oh, yeah
I'm fucking dude. I don't if you ever want to get a work on it's right
It's right fucking there. I thought really I've been so bad for the past couple weeks with not working out but
Like I literally have it right there so there's no excuse not to like I literally turn around
It's like oh I have to do this now. Yeah, do you do do you do like formal workouts with yeah?
I feel like if I had that I would just like bust out a few reps
I'm a certified personal trainer to like legitimately did hear about yeah
Yeah, so like I have like full structure thing with
Progression worked into a whole program. Can you make me better? Yeah, dude
I can get if what do you want to do?
Do you just want to get like stronger and what every guy wants muscular and more strong? Yeah, yeah, yeah
All the other dude. What do you follow this good content?
There's so many things I want to talk about but this is I like talking about I
Raleus right away. I love exercise physiology, but like what how do you do now? I
I go to the gym and just I just throw some weights around I got no system no way
I think dude
You're potential you're like green dude you can get I get you fucking so jacked
So you don't have like a split for a week that you want to have like a Monday lit you know anything no different
I don't go consistently enough
So it's like usually a Saturday I'll get like a two hour workout and that's
My god what two hours cuz I only sometimes I can only do it once a week
So just guy I gotta do everything got left and then run and then oh man you do it all yeah
Does that frustrate you as a person?
Dude I built so many workout programs for people and very curated to like what you want to do with your body
How much car do you want to do it for free? I did I have only and then it got to a point like if someone wants one
I'll do it but I'm no longer advertising that like I'd love to make you one. Yeah, I love to make you one because I know
I like doing it for I know that you'll probably try to actually do it as opposed to doing like a week and never ever doing it again
But also no strings of time if I make you one
Don't feel bad if you don't I'm gonna be pissed if it doesn't work
It dude
I mean from what you just just described of
I go in and I throw around some weights if it didn't work you would be in such an anomaly of like not getting fitter
If I threw what I make and you like didn't get stronger or better
It would be like what the fuck is going on the human body is so respond can you just like
You should go further and be the guy who like wakes people up in the morning
Can I hire you to just like scream?
Maybe awful
I have to wake up right?
Sucks for you, but I'm like just some like just a fucking coach
Yeah for literally no
Kick the shit out of me
Just yelled degrading things while I'm trying to get better dude. That's what I respond to I'm all you do it
I'm negative re-inforge on the opposite guy really I hate that like when I wanted growing up
I was super into lifting
Why are we different?
but a fuck
Oh, I had one friend particular who grew up in a pretty a
He had a rough upbringing like
crazy like
Me meeting him his dad was a gang member his mom was a heroin addict and then like eventually his mom was in out of rehab
So we just have access to his house to party in all the time because she lit even we're like in high school and so
He was like all about the negative reinforcement which even that phrases
Wrong in technical terms in psychology. There's positive reinforcement reinforcement and negative reinforcement
Negative would mean that you're moving an obstacle out of the way to encourage you
So like positive I would ask I would be like hey if you do this I give you candy bar negative would be like I
Remove this needle and your thigh if you do the thing which is an extreme stupid example
So what I'm talking about is like fear of being like literally like
Fucking bashing people essentially and until you scare them like you know, you yeah, I guess scares the wrong word
But you either anger them or scare them into doing the thing from like
it's like
I
Feel like fear of what you
Won't get is a big motivator. Oh, I see of being like it's like like you see a wolf Wall Street
Yeah, when he's given that speech and he's like
You're gonna roll up next to a guy and see him and his awesome car with his beautiful wife
You're gonna be in your shitty car and yeah, I respond to that shit like being being scared that being scared of becoming nothing
Being not dead that works. I guess when I said I don't respond
Like negative stuff is like that friend when we would go to the gym because we had a period where he was kind of overweight
So I was trying to help him lose weight
Okay, but I gotta be funny. Come on fucking pussy clown like
Dude it makes me mad at the person not it like it takes my mind out of the lift every time like my focus goes to like
Hey, fuck you man not like
Bench this now for me, but some people respond to the shit of like come on
You know what I think if someone else said it to me. I wouldn't respond to it
I say it to myself though internally. That's okay. Yeah, see like it
But the second I have an external thing my my attention just goes to that no longer the thing I'm doing
But some people love that bootcamp shit. Yeah, like typical military drill sergeant being like come on you fucking fat
I think there's a fine line. I like the intensity. Yeah, but maybe not like just
Shitting up it can be intense in a positive way to it
You like when you fucking got this you might like I like yeah, yeah, the motivational pushing you forward as opposed to being like you can't do it
Which I I get both sides and everyone's so different so
Different shit works, but I hate when people are yelling at me
So you're David Goggins guy. I mean, I've read his book can't hurt me. Okay, you know, I mean he's a he's an anomaly in himself. I'm just being
It's weird because I respect his like
Calis your mind thing in the fact that it's all mental and he'll talk about even in his book and the podcast
He and is like he did the first
15 years of what he did the wrong way because he was just pushing he was not thinking he over dead
Oh, yeah, you like broke his body many times along this path until he's like what he is now
Yeah, and like I feel like a lot of people I've talked to who bring up David Goggins are like you just got to keep going as hard as you can
Yeah, that's I see people taking that message every single time from David Goggins and then they just that's how you get hurt
Right easily I didn't read his book, but I heard him on the podcast. I think he said stretching saved his life
Yeah, he said that he had some
Hip lumbar complex stuff, which is like literally what keeps
Everything in your waist and your lower back in terms of like all the muscles and ligaments there
So it was like an a knot push can have I mean if you're just lifting and you're running a hundred mile races
Yeah, your body's not really meant to do that it can but
Shit goes wrong. So he's just doing years and years of like training in not a smart way leads to shit like that
So he said stretching yeah, like helped him out, but once again
Going to the mental part. It's awesome because he's showing like he was like a fat out of shape
Dude got to this point where he was like running a hundred mile races ultra marathon and just
I like that message, but people seem to think it's like just go as hard as you can until you break yourself
Yeah, I mean anyone will miss interpret that very true very true, but
Dude the older you get man that chicken be really will you talk about this a little bit less?
You break it hurt when you're older you break a whim or you tear your ACL at like playing a pickup game of basketball
Because you got to go hard at 30 oh
Basketball gets me every time dude. I mean, I'm so bad at basketball. So I've never had that
Yeah tennis, but I don't play like I used to so anyway
Where we fucking what were you gonna open with oh
Fuck
It's alright dude so it's been going on the past four days
I imagined nothing changed dude. Yeah, let's see in this last week
You know I'm starting to do which I this is the first day. I haven't had any I
Decide I'm gonna try I'm not drinking already. It's been okay. Well since getting drunk
I should say but I'm gonna try to do no coffee. It's another big coffee guy. Yeah, I drink so much
You just last time I talked to you 10 cups and 20 minutes or so that was an accident though
But yeah, was that was at the moment when you're like I can't do it anymore
You just I've had I've had a lot of moments like then the past where I go too hard with caffeine
It's it's such a look at any drug right and they always have similar trajectories of like how people use them very very rarely are people good at using a drug
Yeah, and so it's like
Yes, you know, it's the say I
The month begins I'm drinking one cup on Monday turns into two cups on two by the end of the week
I'm drinking literally five cups of coffee and then I'll be like oh god
I got I got I got to stop drinking coffee then I reset and I do the same thing over and over and over
and it's I mean that one where I had like 10 cups definitely shines a light on kind of how much of a drug caffeine is to the
point where you can be like fucked up on it like oh yeah God damn and then you know
There's so much medical work out there that show medical studies that show like when you have caffeine your system
It interrupts your REM sleep like it affects it and
For sure caffeine is a half life of six hours. So if you have a cup in the morning
It's still in your system when you're going to bed and then if you're drinking more than one cup you like
Your your sleep's always fucked up like you have an experience your true
Natural restful state is long as you're having a cup every single day
Which most of the country's doing that right consuming caffeine to some form. I feel like most people have multiple cups
I yeah
Maybe I'm lucky, but like if I have more than a cup. I'm
Zonged out of my mind. Yeah, I can't do it which I'm grateful for there's two they've identified two gene types that have two different enzymes
Wonder just slowed to tight gestures for caffeine when they're fast. It's like my brother can drink like five cups of coffee and go to bed
Yeah, some some people's bodies
My room is zip through it and so it just doesn't affect them. I'm more
Maybe a little slower than you but like I'll have a copper to and be like whoa
Like it feels like it's doing so like you for almost half the time. I feel it immediately
Yeah, so I think I'm gonna try to go without and see what like
What it feels like and I do I've mentioned this before
But like as I've gone older my anxiety's just gone up like naturally
Really? Yeah, and the only thing I can see that's linear is like I've been consuming caffeine
Since I was like 14 in the form of like energy drinks first like non-stop so many men and then I just never I have never stopped
I've always drank caffeine. There's no way. It's good for anxiety. No, I mean it's it's it's it's document is being terrible for anxiety
Dude what it does chemically to your body is just blast your body with cortisol so let's stress
Yeah, so there's a book called why we sleep. Yeah, have you ever heard of it? I have not it talks about like
What it does you go first though? Okay, I was gonna say because chemically
You know we have all these neurotransmitters in our brain serotonin dopamine at these nosine epinaphyrin or epinaphyrin tons of right dude
Yeah, they're always in there and they're I feel like the more good is good recall
Oh, hell yeah, it's like how I agree baby
Snural pharmacology damn, but um
So coffee when you drink most people think that
Coffee gives you dopamine which it but it does it indirectly so when you drink coffee all it's doing is
It's blocking your endenosine receptors which are just the receptors that make you what I was gonna say they just make you tired right so
And the more you consume coffee the more receptors your brain grows so then when you just stop your brain just like
Rapidly taking an endenosine more often and then if you stop for a long time the receptors will go back to the normal levels
So that's why you feel extremely tired and you have withdrawal and you have headaches if you just stop caffeine you're a habitual user
But so you mix that with the cortisol thing so then your adrenaline
Like your your your journals are always getting fatigued because you're just spraying cortisol
You're blocking all these endenosine things and then dopamine indirectly flourishes because
There's so much of this other receptor that don't mean just kind of has free reign. Okay, and it does so
It's not I don't
I don't know for me. It feels like it's not doing anymore good anymore
It feels like it's starting to hurt me more than helping sure instead of getting like a little jolt and having like energy for 30 minutes
Yeah, now you go
I saw the the way the book describes is basically the same thing but they
a
Dinozine or whatever yeah, they describe that as like a chemical that builds up
Yeah, it gets to a certain level. That's what makes you tired. It's like that plus your circadian rhythm is what makes you
Yeah, fall asleep and coffee just like puts off yeah the adenosine, but it keeps building yeah
So it just blocks when it like actually comes into your brain to make you fall asleep. Yeah, so it's yeah
There those receptors are blocked somewhere to like
so there's a receptor agonist and antagonist so like
LSD is a seroton agonist meaning that it will fit into a receptor
That's for serotonin so then like a serotonin molecule couldn't fall into there
It just takes it and it it causes so and denosine is being blocked
So that's what you're talking about you have that like overflowing the denosine molecules flowing around
Then once you stop coffee. They just to the receptors. Yeah, and then it gets super tired
It's interesting. It's weird that like
It would be interesting to see it before and after of human civilization with coffee
I want we probably got extremely productive because most of human history we're drinking alcohol because of water was so
It was not not potable. It was it was bacteria ridden so people would just drink alcohol all the time
People were drunk for the majority of human history dude the water was just bad
You would die of cholera like all the time if you weren't drinking booze
Yeah, I've always wondered that like if I eat a questionable piece of food
Should I just rip a shot so it kills all the bacteria in my stomach? I wish I had the answer for that
All right, because I've thought of
I just kill it but it depends on also of like
But that that sounds like what you just described though
You're drinking questionable water so you've caught it with some alcohol. Yeah, I just don't know like when stuff is in your digestive track
If you ate something shitty what you're saying is like in right away in combination
Yeah, I just like slam it. Yeah, could once again have no fucking clue
Later
So yeah, long story short gonna try to be off coffee for while and see if
That does anything. I mean the stuff I read you know every time I do something I'll read internet
Just people talking about their experience and everyone's like dude. It's like
There's always the extreme people who say you don't realize the life that you could be living
because you're it's
Another interesting thing I'd not to talk on this for too long, but you know Michael Pollan is no
He's this
He's a renowned journalist who's written a bunch of books, but he's more known for
Being open and experiencing all kinds of drugs and he's he like worked for the New York Times
And he's like this guy is writing his phenomenal, but he made this book and I'm forgetting the name but
But we just write about his experiences with like
masculine ecstasy
Every drug you could ever imagine opiates everything and just like journals his experience awesome book
I got a name, but in that book he said of all the drugs
caffeine was the most psychedelic which
Sounds weird. He said that sounds like a
Touchestake it's it kind of does right, but this is also the guy who's doing like
ayahuasca and masculine and
What does he mean by he stopped it for he didn't do any caffeine for two months and he'd his the story he tells is that
After two months he went to a
outside cafe with his wife and
They had some coffee and like a table
You don't need the information
I was confused
What were they sitting at and he said upon sipping it it became
He's like instant euphoria like you you had he hadn't experienced with any of the other like you had just done ecstasy at these like
Things that are supposed to give you euphoria and felt like
Just a level of heightened awareness that didn't come with anything else and then soon after that
There was a garbage truck across the street like loading garbage in and just the sound like extremely
It agitated him to a level that was like uncomfortable and the most interesting thing is so he goes home
Right and he said he he starts to do some work and he planning going to a nursery later like for plants
Think it's what's called right like a plant nursery. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I think it's what they call right
Nursery yeah, yeah, well, we're gonna go with it because it sounds like a baby thing which it is also that too, but
Anyway, he planned to go to this this thing later and he noticed that his brain. There's a bunch of nurseries around him it picked
He got to one and he knows that he picked that one because there's an espresso place there
So like within having a cup you realize he's subconsciously. Yeah, your brain like the addiction works on that level
Where you're like you start planning out your steps to get the next hit of that thing unlike any other drugs
He's tried like he knows it was like subconsciously programming his day and he's like whoa, this is so strange
I
believe that guy
Could get to that level of where he could realize how much it was affecting him. I trust me
I highly encourage you to go like I'll find the book and I'll send it the link to you or just like
Watch some interviews with them. He's super knowledgeable and really like
similar to like
That that interview with you and Mac are not you and Mac Harry Mac
There's like a level of genuine feel from him when he's talking about the thing
Love Harry Mac, dude, dude amazing if we ever get guests on this podcast, please
The guy is dude like when you see a
Human like that. I'm like, dude. We are so cool as a species
Yeah, that makes me so proud to be a person and be like that's one of us that guy
Dude, he's so cool. He's so cool. So you watch the whole thing
So you know that he does all this concerts just fucking freestyle insane. That is what?
He's just the dude
You want to finish a point about the other guy first?
Uh
It was just that that he's it's one of those guys that coffee's really fucking addictive really addictive
And he is one of the guys that it's there's no bullshit there
He's been doing this for so long and experimenting with these things and meeting with all these experts around the world
Yeah, like you know researchers in the field not just like fucking random people that like and he's gone and spent entire months with tribes like to get there
A lot of tribes have these like becoming of a man or an adult kind of ceremony
He's that involves some kind of psychedelic drug and he's partakeed all over the like he's also he's like 60 or 65 is an older guy
Yeah, dude, you're just fine like us. Yeah, he's brilliant too when he talks man. He's so
Articulate about everything that like I've never heard someone to talk about a trip or a drug experience in the way that he does and then
Whoa, that's like that's exactly what it is. Yeah, so anyway, you're what are you gonna say about a very much?
Tiz I
Feel like anyone could just watch Harry Mac be like this guy is unbelievable
But yeah, the way that he can do I saw it's crazy brought this up because I saw that guy
Like seven years ago, okay, just a Facebook video is like man effortlessly freestyle out of beach
And there's a crowd of people around him and he's like
Picking like the patterns on people shirts out and putting them in his raps
And so like that that was already insane, but yeah
This latest podcast he was articulating deeply
Like very yeah things I would have a hard time talking about not in a freestyle right at a slow pace. Yeah, yeah
He was just effortlessly freestyling
profound thoughts yeah
Prop to it like he got a prompt in a lab or just unbelievable dude, it is
If anything's a testament to that you can train your brain to be a certain way
That like does that when I saw that I immediately was like
Dude because he said he's been doing this since he was like 12. Yeah, that made me feel better as a person because I was like
How could he's just another level of of that being?
How does your brain work that fast dude? It's it
Going to the stand-up thing like it's
At a certain point you just understand a level of complexity and there's different levels
Obviously, but like that him is the most elite version of the rap game
Yeah, but he is I have never seen a rapper not a little dicky maybe I've seen some of this like he can freestyle some nut stuff
But the Harry Mac stuff or people he just like walks into a room
grabs a bunch of prompts from people and just goes and it's not like
I feel like a lot of freestyles are not connecting things. They're just talking about the stuff and he just will he'll like
Connect everything in a way that like it'd be a trek. I will listen to right not a freestyle
He just casually
Spend out some unbelievable verse. Yeah, like
I mean there's a lot of rappers that just write awesome raps. Yeah, that's amazing in itself right
Yeah, but to just do it on the fly like that. It's just so unbelievable. It's insanity man
And I hope there's more people that I'm glad that you glad he made it because I when I saw like I
Wile ago, I was like in Saint
But he wasn't anything. He was just making videos. Yeah, I feel like that's a level of greatness that
It cannot become big. You know like that dude
And he's he's smart and innovative with it like doing the amiegal chats. Yeah, dude
It's it's any I mean he's a professional drummer
pianist like he's he's so musically
I don't need once they gifted trained he's just trained to the point of being so elite in that field that it's
I've never seen someone in the rap world like that
Ever I just wonder like how many rhymes does he have flown around in his head?
Dude his brains. I think he can hear a word and he just has seven things on that. Yeah, he can just put in it
Dude, it's just association man. Once again, it's like if you were to talk to a person who's a PhD and anything
They had the same level of connection of thought but the freestyle version is like it's way cooler
It's just speeding everything up, which you've like it just it how does it go that fast?
I was getting amped up watching I dude me too. All right, you would go to some topics
Yeah, I got I got fucking gobs of them. Let's see gobs. That's a good word gobs
I have one off the top of my head though before I even open up the thing all right
We said that maybe there would be a reoccurring theme of things that make you anxious or give you anxiety and
Do you remember that movie 128 hours with James Frank Ogan his arm stuck in the rocks 127?
It's one yeah, yeah
That's never seen it, but yeah, so you know what it is right?
Yeah, what happens? He saw this on a true story. Yeah, yeah guys like I don't even know something rock falls on
I'm in like a crevice, but
I just today no prompt on this just like sent myself there in my mind of like all right put yourself in the situation
You're in nature by yourself. I love this is just an on prompt of thought
Yeah, I just I get random dudes sometimes I'll wake up and just have something like that dude
It's so weird the brain just has all this junk and it's just like just like Harry Max head
It's just all this shit flowing around basically Harry Max. Yeah, but so
Your own nature
You're alone, but you're like a seasoned nature guy. I guess you're I think he was like an experienced climber of some sort
Okay, but you're out there. You know no one's like out there, but you go into a fucking
A place where no one's gonna find you and then you get your arms stuck and
Then you know the first hour you're probably like I can I get I can figure this out and
Then you know come more hours go by and you're like
Dude, I think someone's gonna find me. I think like a minute in I start freaking out
Yeah, what happened to the rock fall on his arm? He was I
Think so because he was down and like there's I've seen patient of these things
Like not dunes, but it's like desert area and then you like going these big cracks in the ground and it's like
It's like all these weird sand patterns, but a rock fell and his arm was just stuck in between the thing but
At some point in your head
Say a day goes by you're like okay, no one's coming to find me
You have to make you it really in that moment shows how much of a coward you are
Because you either ages die there or you cut off your arm and you dude
The balls it would take to slowly cut off your arm. What did he have on him to cut his arm?
I don't remember I think he had to like smash a little bit with the rock first and then like tear I don't think there was like a
uneasy cut thing
Dude like I did that
He any survived
Hey
Hey, buddy podcasting
You want to join the podcast
But that I don't know I think you have a lot of good thoughts and views
10 episodes we'll be fighting canceled by then
All right, but I
I don't know if I could do it. I don't know if I cut off my own arm. I might die the coward's death
I also don't know what that state of adrenaline is like when you're like your body's like listen if you don't
What off your arm you will die
But I fear of the fear of like slowly you could argue you could even argue the opposite would be the cowardly move
If you're so scared of dying that you'll do anything to not die
I
Don't know why I see what you're getting like dying probably scared him so much
Then he cut his own arm off. Yeah, but then it's like it's skated you're not enough to cut your like you can be the guy that
You're you're so you're here's how I see it all right
There's the dying fear which is the big fear of everyone right the top one
But then there's things like cutting off your arm which are a lower fear
So you you have
Knowing that this is the end all be all fear up there you have said I'm too scared to cut off my own arm
So it's like you're scared of a lesser thing right right and being like I can't do it even though the ultimate
The outcome is you just fucking die because you don't have the balls to do it. I would feel
cowardly if I just gave up yeah, but then it's like
It's coming from a guy who's never had to cut his own arm
That that would be horrific
How did he live how did he not plead out? I don't know he got out of wherever he was and got to a place where people found him or he found people
James Franco James Frank
Fuck that's unbelievable. He must have I feel like he must have known a little bit about
Like how to do it? I mean he must have tied it. How do you tie it off?
I don't know well, I think at some point his arm was like crushed in a rock. Yeah, so like it probably was just losing anyway
Yeah, I mean, you know, he had to cut the part that was alive though. Yeah, it's like probably out right but he
Do that makes me think of there's another horrendous thought but in his situation he was stuck standing and like there's torture methods
You know that go but I mean they probably still do it in some dark places in the world, but where they put you in
Boxes that you can't sit so you have to like stand the entire time and they just you just stand but it's like a
Like a two-foot wide lawn box that they just put you and I hate that and it's short
So you're like slightly hunched. Oh, and they just leave you there
Do they would do like medieval time stuff?
They throw people in those dungeons and just leave them like that until they die just going on everyone
Sites the medieval times is torture time. Why why were so many people getting tortured? I don't know
That's a good question because a lot of that's where it all like you see the most extremes of like flane men and like
I said that wrong flane man not full man
Like it's kind of the same right?
There's yeah, yeah, it's very similar but they're spelled. I guess filet would be the piece of the thing
Flane would be the act of the thing
Okay
Don't quote me on that
Entomology
But I feel like we hear mostly about torture things from medieval times. I don't know why
Yeah, like what the heck was going on maybe just monarchies were cooler, but that's I don't that's hard to believe
That's hard like I would people were probably doing bad shit everywhere like all the time
I mean, there's like the it's funny because there's certain groups of people over the top the course of history
I'm out of historian. So this you know these are not all
Let's just say fact check me
Audience and I might oh I see your name fuck
Derek
Um
We're like there's always points in time where there's like a
An average society that's like there's always a crazy society somewhere
Like a lot of people having to like the sparrans were an example that everyone knows of now or like most people in that time looked at them
They're like savage people people like
They're fucking nuts. They weren't awesome
Yeah, but like most of the world at that time was like those people are essentially cavemen relax
But like another example that is like the the command cheese the Native Americans here when we came we're like
A lot of the tribes would eventually
Other tribes tricked us into thinking that the command cheese were attacking someone so that they could
Get American forces to just obliterate the command cheese because they would just go around raping and killing all these other Native American
They're just like they're like the Viking equivalent of the Native Americans and like every group of people to ever exist always had
That evil crew of them. Wow. It's weird too because there's always a
Like Native Americans. I feel like a lot of people talk about in this light of like
They're all kind and they live nature and they're peaceful and they were equally
Oh, there is as evil as every human to ever exist and do horrific things. Yeah
They'll they were just far the revenue dude
Vicious dude. What a crazy world to be in and like dude fucking so like this is the planes land that we live in right with God's Illinois
In my head growing up when they would teach history
It was like oh, it was just you know big open fields and
It's just kind of a non-dangerous climate
But it was just the great planes. They were horrific like there was their non
They never ended and then there'd just be like tribes of Native American. There's nowhere to hide
You would like start to make your trek across them and just get destroyed
By narrative of the face. Yeah, do it fucking and a lot of the times they would just follow you
Until you just perished by natural cut like they'd stay you would see them from a distance
Just like kind of stalking like like Anna predator and prey. Oh God. Yeah, man
We live in a very blessed time
We're like that's so that it that sounds fake
Like all of that sounds like that that can't be real, but it is
Dude, I don't even have to move ever in a day if I don't need if I don't want to
Yeah
Just
Dude, I was thinking about this the other day. Yeah kind of just kind of shifting topics here
But like no do take it. I could literally
Just stay in my room
yeah
For the next for the rest of my life basically. Yeah
You could literally get any kind of food you want delivered everything's paid for
You can you have a phone so you can communicate with anyone you have a computer a camera you can communicate with anyone via those means like
You can literally stay in your room
Unless we literally unless like war happens we get a talk to something if there's like yeah
That would be a factor that would change
Got you to the fuck
Like you you could just sit at your computer and not change as a person for 40 years
Yeah, and then you come out the other side as a 60 year old being like
Like the same person. It's it's kind of weird
Yeah, mentally
You probably took great a little bit. Yeah dude. I mean
fucking
Well
Like in prison in the prison system solitary confinement is known as the most
Horrific punishment just being alone. I do a lot of that every day. Dude me too man
I'm literally here alone and then once it moves out I'll be truly alone in my fucking apartment
Oh god we have to start hanging out more before we kill ourselves
People will tune in are they dead yet?
Are they still alive? Have they ended it all?
But no I I mean I don't know about you, but I can feel it like the more time I spend alone the more time
I feel like dude, where's me down? Yeah, and my social ability just plummets also
I you would you say an introvert or an introvert?
Extremely okay. I would say that about myself too. Yeah, like I see it
Like I'm outgoing typically in public, but like I need to recharge alone
So it's as wild even even the most introverted people
You need some you need you need other people you need to connect with people absolutely. Yeah
which
We are social beings like we have to have something with other people so
It's weird when we live in this world of luxury where we can just not which I don't think there's ever been a time where you could just
I guess you could but it would you should be extreme measures and historically, you know
But now it's like I can have every one of my needs and probably once met
And just sit here and never talk to anyone or see anyone
It's weird we're gonna say I think my eyesight's changing too
From I don't look at things far away from me
Ever and apparently that's like how you relax your eyes. Yeah most of the day
For this thing I see is the opposite wall
I'm looking at a screen. It's just I can feel it
Dude there's priceless true to that. I mean
I feel like we're we're doing a weird experiment of a bunch of things in like
us being exposed to screens all the time
all of these different like
What's the word for like hyper excited to worry things on the computer typically when you're seeing all these colors and buttons and things and code and doing this
all the time
What just dope me hats left. Yeah, just all the time. So you just like you're just
Draining or making your brain sold dull or tolerant to those things
And then now and then what we're just talking about you have the loneliness on top of it
It's a it's a strain dude. It's it's a it's an experiment that's gonna produce some really weird results at the end
We're gonna have it like generations of people that are just like
Just so socially awkward or emotionally not developed. Yeah
but like we're
older but there's kids that are going through this to thank God. I am so happy. I missed like Twitter was fun
It was like a fun new thing. Yeah, high school. Yeah, it's become I'm an Instagram was barely a thing. I'm so glad I missed all that
Yeah, like my space was the one I
This is the only one I ever really got into. Yeah, like my face would like had our top friends on there
You play music on the page and then Facebook in that time was like for college kids
And I was like okay, I'm not doing that and then it never got to a thing where I'm like
posting
All the time or I'm scrolling through Facebook all like it never seems literally forms you
Yeah, it forms your personality. It changed your your wire to it. I mean talk about dopamine
You're like literally programming your brain to just want those likes and want those images and the
colors like non-stop
It's fuck man. We're fine. It's probably gonna be that I mean there's probably plenty of scientists and stuff
We've said this by now, but it's gonna be the new like cigarettes
Like 10 or 20 years. We'll pass by whoa. We did that. We gave that to kids. Yeah, and then gives us cancer
Yeah, it's gonna do something. I mean we see like these huge spikes in autism or like
Just mood disorders in children or anxiety
Made anxiety through the roof. I feel like that's already being realized. Yeah, that end depression are
Extremely high in youth and they've they've made a causal relationship between
mostly I mean unfortunately affects women more
Young girls because it's the whole comparison thing they see unrealistic images of their friends
compared to the reality of themselves
and yeah
Which brings me to the next topic which is that of wow you plan this whole thing out
You know that that uh
Comparing yourself and maybe think of uh, so I've been reading
Meditations by Marcus Arraileus which I think we talked about I started reading it and I'm like I'm like halfway through it
And it's it's a cool book and it's I don't know if you've ever read like I have it. I I cracked it open
Okay, I haven't I haven't read the whole thing but I've ever read a book in like philosopher style
Like it's like biblical language
It's strange like the first chapter, which I think they just call like they call them books like book one
It's like 50 examples of people
That have all these qualities that are like what they would consider stoicism. I guess or stoic
Like John who did the thing but he's very seldom to himself when he makes sure everyone's cared for and it's just like
Will do case by case by case and it's like after a while. I was like yeah, that's it's fine
Like I it just gets kind of weird, but the funny thing which you can see
The like it just dates the whole thing is anytime not anytime, but a lot of the times when they're like
Here's the thing you should do if you don't do this you're a woman
Oh really yeah to like all the time and it'll be like
Yeah, you should really not think about what others think about you otherwise. It would be really womanly of you
There's it's riddled with that but it's subtract the one the word woman out and just put like
Coward or something
You also have to think of like in that time is the time now men are usually like
It's very feminine masculine. There's like men going to war women stain like women were thought of as like literally items
Objects like that it's fucked up. Don't give me wrong. Oh, yeah, that's listening. It's terrible
But it's in that world they were seen as that so when they're making those comparisons
It's the modern day of saying like you're being a coward that's brutal. It is it has a lot of good points though
It's not to that's the woman thing
But try to get you out of this hole here
I
It is good the the common thing I see in the whole book is just
Stop thinking about what other people think about you. That is the biggest like it'll take you down
Really if you just following yourself. Yeah, just focus on yourself find something to get better at
It's always it's like things of like I love that. Yeah, it's self and it's it's good. It's written well
It's just self-improve. Well, not self-improvement, but it's
That one I mean granted I'm like a hundred pages and it's like 200 something
But there could be other themes, but it seems like that is the one don't think about what other people think about you
It's only gonna hurt you. Is that a is that a book because I've read a little bit of it and it's it's just like a bunch of paragraphs of like
Yes ideas. Yes
Some others you do just turn through those or do you like read a little blurb and that just kind of sit with it
I'll read through and then when I find one I'll write notes on my phone. Okay, so otherwise
I'll just not remember stuff. Yeah, so I really want to get into the practicality because they're talking about all the themes and I feel like
Towards the end they might get to like
What you should be doing kind of thing like the idea of not
You know thinking what others think of you is great
But what is the practice of doing that because it's way easier said that done dude
I can be like, yeah, I'm not how do you implement it in your life?
Yeah, the fuck which I don't know if they're gonna talk about that, but if you like there's gonna be something
Matter, does it give you any context like historical context around his life? Or is it literally just his journal like his thoughts?
I mean, there's tons of historical context in terms of like he'll talk he'll tell stories about
Things he's experienced his father is operating. I mean, it seemed like the guy had an awesome life
The way he talks about he's like I've been blessed by everyone who's ever touched me kind of like my father my teachers my brothers my sisters
My mother he's coming from a place. It sounds like enlightenment like he's had every need he has met
And he's found that being stoic or being
it's just like
It seems like the state of absolute calm in terms of emotion
Like things can happen to you. It sounds almost like crossword with Buddhism and stuff like that
Where stuff can happen and you look at it from an objective view as opposed to as an emotional view which will help you in life
I mean all of this yeah all the meditation stuff that goes on is like all based around that of like
learning to let things pass through you and not like push against them when they happen kind of idea
I don't know if you're gonna practice like mindfulness or
What is the other one transcendental meditations a little different
But they're all the same kind of cut cut think about stuff. Yeah, that's good. Something going on there. It's no hairy Mac, but I'll take it
But yeah, that's an interesting
Because I've heard that I mean from this and other sources like the the way to be
Happy is to be very even keeled and like not spiking too far in either direction. Yeah, doesn't that kind of feel like you just
Sort of get numb to things. I think it just not
When the extremes happen because they will happen. Yeah
You kind of dull the spikes. Okay, because those the the highs and the valleys
The lows of the valleys just kind of they tend to disrupt so say you had that baseline
You can experience a high and if you don't have that baseline you just shoot right back down though
I think that's the idea of like sure not numbing super awesome stuff or super well
Either way. Yeah either way just not not numbing it but making it so when it happens you can come back
Your baseline is strong up to where you can go back to that thing and be okay
Because everyone's gonna experience something that's gonna cause
I would hope extreme happiness
Unfortunately a lot extreme sadness at some point and some people at breaks do some situations where people
It changes them for the worst in the moment or for the better right through extreme positive impact, but
And some people will say psychedelics will do that so and there's more and more data coming out. I don't need to read the book
I'll just do it. I'm telling you. I mean the more
science we do in that
world where they like give terminal cancer patients
So they have like two grams of psychedelic mushrooms and it just changes their entire thing like they're outlook on the whole situation
They like accept death. They're okay. They become happy. It's nuts
I hate to give credit to an external thing because I'm a full believer in like the internal it is like we have to work this but
Those are tools that mankind has not I'm we've been using them forever
But we need to like use them to do it. We need to get everyone behind here. They grow for us. Dude. Yeah
They're so weird. I'm pretty sure that they're the only thing that can live in a vacuum too
Not like a clean vacuum like a vacuum of space
So there's theory that they just showed up on a meteor one day like way way way long ago
They just fucking landed and then just like inhabited everything
It's fucking crazy. Have you ever heard the stone to ape theory?
Uh, maybe we're like our ability us
Or I should say not us. This sounds like a Joe Rogan take. Is this a Joe Rogan take? Uh
He's probably mentioned it. Okay. It's a it's an actual theory by scientist that I think either like Carl Sagan or some kind of
physicist or evolutionary person, but the theory is is that
Uh, so when you take psychedelics you can experience this stuff called uh synesthesia
Which is like you can feel colors or you can hear colors, you know
We're like your sense is kind of blend
The theory is that
primates
Some chimps somewhere some gorilla somewhere
ate some mushrooms backs and because they just grow on shit the psychedelic ones most of the time
and
Had a blending of sensation that created language
Because they started making associations with sounds and thought
And it up until then they were split
So from that synesthesia it prompted that and then it was kind of like a feedback loop of
This thing makes me think this way and allows me to start to have complex thoughts
And you know, we're talking about hundreds or thousands of years of evolution
But that's one of theories which dude when you do those you can see how that
Be possible
As a person not as a pro well we are primates, but you know as a as a fully formed human
You eat those you feel like it's literally open to new pathways
Yeah, and the science we're doing now is showing that where they take people like ptsd and
You know typically they'll put you in cognitive behavioral therapy for a long time and like work through the stuff
And what they found when they give psychedelic mushrooms to people it like
It puts your brain in a state
That makes it more malleable
Okay, so like you can have a bigger impact in a shorter amount of time for better or worse
You know, I could traumatize you on mushrooms and you would like have ptsd from that experience
But if we do good things during that time you can beat things in the much smaller window
So
Anyway, it's just science
It's just simple stuff that's going on the universe
All right, let's actually go to a topic love all right. Let me see this fucking crazy list
Because it grew overnight
Gun lost
Just
Tell me about god loss well
I just I like I feel like it's a moving target no pun intended that
It's always that was totally intended
It's it's strange because we're America
You know what we're America and we're all about our second mammarats
But when those things when those laws were made
Did like you know someone has a joke out there forget who it is one can means like when we made those it takes you two minutes to like oh
Yeah load a musk put this the gunpowder in by the time and the joke is by the time you're like done loading it
You're like I don't want to shoot this guy because it's like that emotion is so fleeting when you're like I want to shoot this person
But now we have guns that like
Or automatic that you could unload a clip and less than like 10 seconds be like oh fuck I just killed a bunch of people yeah
And then it's like
There's the side of if the government comes after us
We want to protect ourselves which I get that side too because the government does some terrible shit
Yeah, but then you have school shootings dude if the government comes after us
I
Have drones I know it would be it would be very quick
The government comes after you you're not even gonna know your house would just blow up
Yeah, there would
I get that there's more there's more of us to fight them, but in terms of like
We would have to have some
Collective consciousness event where we can all connect and organize which would never ever happen ever do that no
So I'm I lean more on the side that if it did come down to that to your point government which is like a
Blitterade the common people and then once like a say a hundred thousand people are killed by the government everyone would just fall in line
Unforce it'd be like yeah, dude. We're not gonna
Fuck with the
They just literally blew it like New York up with a nook. No thanks to it
But so sit but then I guess it all in today it always gets to the point of
school shootings
Yeah, like we have
So you by neatly American problem and for the past like what two or three years or something like that which is
Nuts that when I was growing up that was never
Why is that when we were growing up that never happened and their guns were still available
Do we not heat well? I mean we just talked about mental health with social media. I think our natural collective
Resimation has got way worse. That's in sit. Yeah, I guess I mean that obviously that's the root cause right like it's not up
There's more guns now
but
Like Columbine was the one when we were growing up and that was it that was the one and we were like all school shootings
You mentioned going to school. It's like every day shooting just hoping
May hope is not our school today
It's horrible. Yeah, so I'm crazy. I
I feel like now
One of the one of the more recent ones didn't they look at the guy's history and he was watching all these fucked up YouTube videos
Oh, it's the Buffalo guy
I don't remember but I feel like if you're sick
Mentally now you can just go on the internet and feed it and make it grow. Yeah
Right, that was not a thing in the past. Yeah
Yeah, fuck dude. It's so complex
But fuck it's also like
I don't it would be I don't know what happened if the America was like we're gonna take all your guns away
I think there'd be there'd be some kind of
Extreme pushback, but I just what everyone said but everyone's like no one needs the murder weapon the semi automatic
Yeah, however many rounds like and I kind of agree with that. Yeah dude. Absolutely. I you should be able to have a gun for self defense
I think so you're home. It's the one thing because I'm all for this like free market idea in terms of how we run a country
But it's the one thing that's literally made to kill someone
There's not another product out there that the consumer can buy
That is purely made to end someone's life. Yeah
Nothing so it's like there's so many of them. There's so many. Yeah, we have I think it's like one point seven guns per person
Yeah, there's more guns of people
That's so many just fuck around and find like half a billion guns
Where are these guys?
And so many guns
It's not good. It's horrible. It's fucking crazy
It's like how the hell do we control it now? Right and that the I've heard the argument to of say we
People will get guns anyway. Yeah, but then but then
Like Australia banned automatic weapons in
19 like 90 after they had one really bad school shooting or mass shooting and
To buy an AR 15 in the black market in Australia is like 30,000 dollars
So like a criminal. Yeah, it's free market. That's
That's a win. Well, that's black right if it give the price gets through the roof right and then
I think Jim Jeffries has a joke about this where he's literally like
criminals, I mean a after they did that no more mass shootings one has not happened since then
but
If you if you're a criminal and you have 30,000 dollars you're not about to
Go buy a gun to do the thing, you know like that amount of money when someone usually has that they're not about to go
Do a mass shooting or something like most people are trying to get the money
So if they had that money you're saying if you have that much money you're you're the boss and you're doing bigger things than shooting up a school exactly
So it's like that
It's a good experiment and what happens but
Since we have such so many guns here it might not have that effect like the black market for guns here would probably not be super expensive
I may go a little bit
but I don't fucking know
There's a topic where obviously not gonna solve
But I like how it was the first topic I had
For this podcast was just gun loss
Yeah, well I'm gonna go buy a gun after this podcast
Dude
Did you ever shot again? Yes
You
I shot a war war two gun and my great uncles. What was it like? It's pretty cool
I mean with it feels I was like 12 but he like held it with me and we just shot shit in his backyard
He like lives on like Michigan or he's dead now 93 but nice dude is ripped a shit too. Yeah, you know fall
World War two
fucking would go to gym every day
Dude
Side story about this guy Uncle Tony
Rest in peace. I love a good World War two story
Well
Tell me about his combat days
You only told me you got shot and he said it felt like an hit by a bat like huh like the impact
And then you're kind of it but
He I learned about this workout thing called Nautilus through him which is a thing that arrived in like
Probably the 50s or something where so you have a word so you have a bicep curl machine right
You can do like say you do a set of bicep curls and then you hit a button and then the weight flips to be opposing
So then it'd be a trisic extension on every rep do you do that? No, so you like oh you could but it
You'd probably not
Biceps are like sure try something bigger than biceps so you
I don't want to do it. Yeah, yeah, but there's all these machines that are Nautilus
Brand that have that which in the exercise physiology world
That is one of the best ways to work out so after you do an exercise the next one should be opposing and you're the you're always stronger in the same workout
Or in the same workout. Okay, so like that's why they they pair chest and back or
You do shoulders and back so any kind of opposing direction. Okay, that muscle
Will be stronger in the lift afterwards. So if like say you're going into a bench
And you're laying on there if you do like a couple of quick like
Weird lat pull up things. It's a good way before you go into the bench so to make it stronger. Oh, yeah, it's weird like a
uh motor neurons that like activate in different ways when you
Work your body that way so anyway those machines were cool and I was like fuck dude
I've never even seen one though ever he said he used to go to a gym that was only those until he died
He had like biceps that were bigger than mine just like 93. Yeah, dude. He was ripped. That's what I want to be
Dude ripped old man. It's the palliant dude making ministerony every day and living on a lake shooting MP 40s at fucking squirrels
Sounds like when he talk about it
All right, here's the concept
How do you feel about people that have a really well? Yeah, I'm just fucking bad except Harry Mac
Love Harry Mac so fuck cool
Um people who having a strong opinion on things that they are not educated on
There's a lot of that like god loss
Like the thing we just spoke at like you're just like break down the fourth wall of us being fucking idiots
Be like oh wait, this is the whole podcast dude. I literally I had this thought last time. Yeah
You just
We're on some tangent you just hit me with what do you think about military spend?
And my god cheese dude, I don't know. I don't know if that's my my wheelhouse, but let's think dude
That's the fun part about this whole thing is that
It's just disclaimer before every episode. We don't know shit. No dude. We're fucking we're just too do
Fucking chilling. I think
All right, I guess we haven't had like any super strong takes yet about
The government which I need to chill on a little bit, but but also I feel like they're not perfect takes, but they're rooted in fact
I mean at least of things that have happened. I was just gonna say
Dude before the internet
It was mostly just chilling a basement talking nonsense
Not to say it should become reality like fact, but it's so fun
Just like you heard this fact from your fucking cousin about like like Maryland, Manston getting his rib removed
So he could suck his own dick, which just literally was not true
Yeah, but that thing just floated around that that fact for so long. Yeah, it's like I love
That it's like the human mind just like bullshitting about stuff and it creates hilarious stuff if you just let it ride a little bit
Once again, we're not giving medical advice or like you know
It we're not trying to teach you how to live your life. We're just here to have fun. I I feel like I
Feel like I acutely remember realizing
When like how everyone fact checks everything. Yeah, like I had a very specific friend in college
Who he would get so mad because everything he would say stuff in a wee bit like is that true like we would question him on it
Yeah, and it's a reason like that's annoying when someone does that to you
Yeah, when someone just questions something you say like that sucks, but that's that's the world we live it
True and I can see to play devil's advocate. I've definitely
Had a friend that I
It's weird because he maybe you've had this friend as well in a friend group growing up
But you just know they lie or exaggerate about a lot of stuff
Like a ton of stuff to be checked
It's either it gets to that point where I'm like dude bullshit or I just start a green like right? I was like nice dude. It's just
People will do that all the it's weird. I have adult friends now that do and it's weird because there's a way to connect
Yeah, like the way at least I've seen it with the one I'm talking about now is like
They'll say all these things as if like
To impress me so I'll still be friend like we're already friends
You don't have to do that, you know, you're you're here man like I don't care what's going on just tell me the truth
You don't got to exaggerate but
Yeah, I don't know it's now we live in that age like time. I work. I'll just pull out your fun be like wrong
Yeah, it's it's a fine line. Yeah, it sucks to feel like
You people don't believe you or people don't like trust you. Yeah, if you're terrible just fact checking all the time
But yeah, there's also the person who needs it. I feel like I feel like
Now everyone kind of realizes that
But for me, it felt like in college we were kind of transitioning
Mm-hmm. Maybe it's just the time of my life, but
Where everyone starts fact checking everything. Yeah, I feel like
If we're being asked about it too and we talked about this a little bit last time
You know, I was telling you like we sometimes just read headlines. It was connecting to the fucking quality Climidia bit
but
It was
Most people are just reading headlines and that social gathering just being like headline
Yeah, just say and then you ask them once again. I've done this thing of like read it
Don't know anything about the article like uh fuck. I feel like
If most of these things people are learning there is using them as like social fodder to conversation
Which I I want conversation. Yeah, I'd rather that than us just like not talking about it
You don't want to silence some like make someone feel scared to talk right?
So I feel like in this fact checking universe. It's easy to be like that's wrong
But instead just like
be like
Let's just keep talking about this. This is fucking wild right even someone says something crazy
It's better to be like oh yeah, tell me about you
I want to hear your extreme take on this thing like gun loss
but
Yeah
It's I had it's weird that you bring this up because when I went home this past weekend told you went back to my parents
We went to the city as we're driving on a congested Chicago highway almost to Chicago
There's the L train that's going and there was these springs that connect each train cart to each other like three sets on each side of it
And you and my dad was like I wonder what that those are four because they have the big thing
That's connecting them like the giant metal piece in between on the like not on the ground
But you know you'll walk over it as you're passing between cars if you're like switching cars. Okay
And he was like why would you need the springs like that's not if the train crashes those springs aren't gonna hold it together
And then we were literally talking about it and my mom's like I'm just gonna fucking Google and like don't
I was like let's just fucking let's just keep talking and see like where we get with it because it's way more far away
You're so right about that. Yeah, I
I had someone on some podcast at this but they're like I don't want to see the funny video you saw today
I want to hear you talk about the video
Then why you tell me about it. That's more fun. This the connection like we'll talk about being social and being human and connecting to each other
That is it. Yeah, instead of us being like here's what the robot says here's the actual truth in the world
It's it's weird, but I'm trying to be more like that especially
I mean
When I go home and visit family because everyone's just like we just find that out now like too. Let's just go for round
Let's just be it he gets for a while and this fact doesn't matter if we know it or not
You know like it's not gonna change our lives as we learn the springs do something else on the train
Like let's just hang out with each other talk to each other and instead of you finding the fact and then just showing it down
Yeah, yeah, you figure it out. No, we never looked it up dude. It's beautiful
And then I talk about my one more word about
I mean the backseat oh so beautiful
But yeah, no, it's yeah, it was cool, but all right
We'll go to a topic that's not gonna loss
Okay, I'll know it was oh we never we never circle back to this
uh
So
The strong opinion on something you're not educated on I think it differs kind of from what we're talking about right in terms of like
Talking about nonsense. It's that's not having a strong opinion on it. The keyword is strong exactly
Well, like people like very opinionated about something you don't know that much about right
Which I feel like there's a lot of people like that like think of
Trying to think of an example. I've had in my life of someone who's like has a really strong opinion, but really doesn't know
I can't think of one I think like the working out world or the exercise world
There's a lot of that of people being like this is the right way to eat right way to eat right way to take supplements
Right way to do this movement where they're like comparing just the most tiny of difference between like a lap pull down
If you pull it down to your chest or you pull it down to your neck and like dude, that's a
Everyone's physiology is really different. So what you're feeling and what you're working out could be
Entirely different and that amount of distance
Not gonna make a difference anyway, but they'll like be very gun-ho
Be like if you don't do this way, you're not gonna get the development you want
It's fucking crazy to hear
Dude, I think this
We you talked I think we talked at some point about how people's beliefs can be like core pillars of who they are
Yeah, I feel like that's just having any strong opinion
It's it's often like representant about that deeper than just an opinion. That's probably that's a good point
Good I think it's probably I mean
Why would anyone feel strongly about anything if they didn't identify with it on a deeper level?
You know, it's probably so close to who they are right and they're like this is me
The neck not the chest
Just thinking of a bodybuilder being like this is my spirit the way to correctly do a lap pull down my temple
And it will then and if you call that guy out he's gonna be pissed oh well
Yeah, cuz you through his lens. It's you're attacking him. You're not attacking the way to do the lap pull down now like noted
You're spreading this information. Yeah
It's weird. I mean at that level
It's not dangerous, but then you get the people who are like Hitler
Yeah, talk about the strongest opinions
Yeah, that's dangerous. Yes, dude that
And it's it's a good experiment of brainwashing in terms of like I mean it happens all that not all the time to the Hitler level
but
How just like finding a lot of people in their most week of times and
Slowly slowly planting seeds of being like
Germany's great
Germany's great
No, no, I'm leaning to the
But just like
none of those people in the beginning
Ever thought the outcome was gonna get to work
Sturminating people like none of them. I mean there's the
There's the photo of maybe we talked about this last time. There's a photo of them in medicine square garden
They had a Nazi convention like 1936 before they were known as like
They were just a political party in Germany
But in New York at medicine square garden
They had like a 30,000 people attendance thing with like there's swat stickers everywhere in the picture
And but it was just like oh yeah political party
So they had fooled already so many people and then once again, it's just like inches that they move up
And then eventually everyone's already so deep in it that they identify with that thing as them
So like to go again here's now it's coming back
Yeah, yeah, that I truly believe that's what it is is like you get so deep you see it in our our political atmosphere
Where people get so entangled with ideas like that taking little steps up
And then it takes a lot of courage for you to go I was wrong
And in the Hitler case you say you're wrong it usually means like death like if you're if you're right
Un
You can't just go home damn and I'm like oh yeah dude take off your clothes
Take off the Nazi stuff go home you die you just fucking shoot you in the street or
Door you in the gas chambers?
So yeah has a
Bits basically saying just that he's like what I just have to know what he was saying because there's no way he just came out and set it like we're gonna
Hmm just exterminate people. Well, you know, they're a regional thing
Was they were going to send all of the juiced him out of gascar?
That was the original plan. Yeah, they were just gonna ship them all there. They weren't gonna kill them
That was their actual plan. Yes, and then that was way to like
Such a hard thing to pull off to just ship like six million people to Madagascar
That they're it was more economically
It was easier to just gas to mass extermination
So but and now we do it. Where are we starting?
Oh
This is all to say that strong opinions that you're not educated. I mean that's
Not to keep talking about this, but
Those people had strong opinions about
Things they knew nothing about
About like Jews being rats and all the propaganda that the Nazi would spread. It's all obviously false information
But it's like propaganda that
Enough people really had strong opinions on like the Jews are this
To go to that extreme
It's crazy
It's insanity dude it fucking is but
Yeah, I was thinking more strong opinions on like
The bodybuilding level
But it's awesome to see the scale of it. I just
When it becomes dangerous, I I don't know if I should be a
Person to be like hey, don't do that. That's that's for me. That's the situation always get to where I see people saying stuff
Obviously wrong or like kids are in at least in the lifting world
Like stuff about like a lot of people will say that they're all natural. How often do you come across bodybuilders just preach and stuff all the time
Dude, I mean, I mean like like in person. No, just a bunch of like um I'm also I don't really post anything online
But it's always on the internet or people who post pictures of like
Them their progress working out. They're obviously on steroids like a lot of them
There's you you can only reach a server if it's dude. Yeah, that's a great example of that. We're like there's
So many people consume it kids consuming that content being like
All I gotta do is eat raw meat get son in my face and lift six times a week
And I'm gonna look like that and you can attain that without steroids now do that. I don't want to give liver can any fucking
I don't want to even give his it's when all that stuff came out the amount of stuff he's on is insane
Like it it's fucking and everyone knew it every way dude. Well any
I don't know there's people who believed he was a natural athlete now like dude what
That's his skin looks fake everything about looks fake
There's so many teletel signs when our people get really bulgy traps the swelling and redness of the face because there's so much water retention
Having 2% body fat and being like
Ripped where you can see like every app. Can't even look healthy. No, dude
He looks terrible. Yeah, he's also eating raw meat all the time
Steroids you he does both those
You subtract even it's like if he was just eating raw meat, I'd still be like what are you doing? This is fucking crazy, but it's
Oh, it's it's such a weird illusion to put up to go eating raw meat will get you this that's his whole thing
I know he's called the liver king
Is the soul just the brain and we're like not what if the brain is the puppet the whole time the soul is actually in the ass
Okay, so if you had the option
Oh fuck so you know when people like there's amputees that we have like a whole market of prosthetics that are nearly functional
Arm arm or leg parts sure just going back to 127 hours. I mean it ties in but I wasn't trying to do that
um
Worst starting to see the level of robotics that's gonna be like
enhancement
So you didn't even lose your arm, but you have the option to get terrible arms to cut it off and put it fake one
Yeah, would you do it? Fuck no me neither, but it looks pretty cool. But like all right. What if you could like
I'd throw some like throw a jetpack on fly around like grafted to your back
This is half a jetpack just attached to you. Are you saying just like a separate jetpack? I'd wear an iron man suit
Oh, that'd be cool if I could take it off. I'm not gonna cut my own limbs off
Yeah, but like what if you could run like 160 miles per hour if they give you robotic legs robo legs
Do need to do that. That's true
But you like run home to visit your parents. No, that'd be cool
That'd be
All so many bugs or like oh yeah, probably get a robot mouth for that
Just becoming entire robot or you like bench fucking get robo packs
You can you bench like a fucking if you removed your arms to get robo arms so you just so you could bench more
You suck you you're the worst person
Why don't you're talking to the worst person?
Become full robot. I guess this is kind of on the horizon of that neural link stuff
Which that dude
The robot arms the lake stuff to me is like okay, it's so it's not it's just part of me
But like getting something in your brain. Oh, you feel you just playing with fire. You watch black mirror. Yeah, dude
Fucking awesome. A lot of that stuff going on. Yeah, it's all sci-fi like it's what could go wrong. Yeah
Like a lot of brain implants stuff. Yeah
It's I don't know the I mean one of the best ones in my opinion is the one where you can just watch all your memories back
That'd be awesome. That would be cool. That'd be so cool except they demonstrate all fucked up. It could be yeah
It's just like we we know so little about
Like we still don't even know really what consciousness is and till like now take
Start shoving things and take hardware and just put it in the place where like most of our processes come from in terms of being a person
It's just such a gamble dude. They just put a chip in there and now you can google stuff from your eyes
Yeah, it's crazy. I mean I feel like in our lifetime. They certainly won't have to do they they
They just they'll start doing trials. I think they're gonna fuck up a lot of people
They just finished doing it on the monkeys and they're trying to get to human which they also killed like thousands of monkeys
The chips like melted their fucking brains and now they're trying to get human trials. I should say
Tesla
If you melt like a thousand monkey brains
But like to survive
And they could they could google shit and they're too barely made
If you could play music in your head whenever you want it from Spotify
Yeah, I don't know dude. I don't know if I want that
I don't know if it's just such a funny trade up me like this might kill you
But you can have Spotify hooked up to your headphones headphones are awesome now
Bluetooth headphones and my hot phones dude air pods had the right it that is become such a fashion thing
Like the I think AirPods look stupid. I do have them. I don't have I do oh shit. Oh, yeah
I mean, but I don't I don't feel
Let's talk about stronaping in the opinions fuck air pods to fuck, but they've become of like a
A fashion trend thing like people wearing things with the AirPods. I'm like whoa. This is so weird. I
I fashion can look like anything. I showed you the rubber boots
The big red boots if it demonstrates that you have enough money to buy it. It'll look good people will desire it
Yeah, oh, I dude
I think the fucking tube that hangs out of your ear with AirPods. I think it looks stupid
Well, but this shows you have enough money to buy AirPods true, which is a status symbol
So now I'm gonna rebuttal for the AirPods against your argument
Guess what headphones I wear
I don't know like a weird question. I say I'm son
No, dude. What's another brand of headphone? There's still Apple tech. I wear beats, but they wrap around your ear
Okay, do they have like little rubber plug things on the ends of them? Yeah, though
I wear them because they I don't know
I've never ran with AirPods and I feel like they would fall out of your ears. Oh no, they fucking stand there
So it says that don't believe it dude. I've ran 13 miles like for an entire summer. Let's stay in my ear sweaty
Do you get terribly sweaty, but they're fine. There's no way you sweat as much as me running 13 miles
I mean if we ran the same amount you might be sweaty
Are you saying just in general just all the time dude? How so you look fine? You're not sweaty. That's what I'm probably sweaty too
Okay, not sways that
But god, what are we talking about the insert the brain insert? Oh, Narelank. Yeah, I mean
It's weird because we will hit a point
I think we're bill that thing will start being able to like enhance your brain
Efficiency so then we'll have we'll have people that are just better
Which what do you do then and there's gonna be like civil rights movements around that that scares me too because
I like having smart people and dumb people in in various subjects
I fully believe
Everyone is smarter than someone has something yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely
So but I feel like something like that it feels like
I
Everyone's just gonna level out at a certain ceiling
I don't know just because same think about what you just said having the smart and the dumb
It would probably just translate like we'd all be heightened
But then there'd still be the smart and the dumb at those various areas. Yeah, what if okay?
I mean we're getting super hype about it. We're fine. Just
If I could just throw something inside. I want to be an awesome musician and I have nothing to that
Would be insane that sounds that sounds too good to be true. That'd be so cool
That'd be sweet like dude, but then but then all of a sudden I guess at the point I'm making
All of a sudden nothing's impressive anymore. I don't know. I'd it definitely could go that way for sure. I think that
We're like if we we're wrapping
consciousness around
The intelligence so be like ever there's still the uniqueness that every person is and the ability not ability maybe but
you could like
You were talking about trying to learn the interstellar thing on piano while ago, right? So imagine if like you had
Your ideas and creativity, but with the musical ability
You would be able to make things that I'm like a new three exactly and you could you could it would open up the world for everyone making
You just flip my opinion and tell it at dude
It's it it sounds in my in my opinion my strong opinion on this
It's not I think that sounds awesome to have like everyone now has the ability to create
Stuff that they think is creative. Yeah, but it also could just be like we cap out everyone caps out
There's no smarter dumb and then everything's just uh
Like monotone
Everything is the same everything's good and at that point there's no reference to bad
So then everything's like yeah, the thing that scares me is like being able to play an amazing song out out of piano
Like that would just be something you bought
Instead of something you put the time in and herb
Yeah
That I don't know what that feel like that be a really weird feeling. Yeah, but like
all right
Like we've talked about in doing stand-up
You can I can as you walk through the bits and you can see yourself doing this like well, right?
I can see myself doing the funny thing and then when I know when I go to do it
It's not going to be anything like in my head, you know
So it'd be weird if like we close that gap
So now there's the thing in your head just happens
There's no there's none of the bad which is probably not just don't have to work
for anything
You just super fit super smart super talented people would just get depressed or just fuck like rabbits everywhere
And just make a super race
Yeah, no, I don't fucking know
It either way if it does happen like they start pumping these narrow lengthens out
I'm not getting one anytime. I'm gonna let the first seven waves of people die from crazy brain shit or
Who fucking knows I was get freaked out about putting like anything artificial in my body and keep and staying there
Yeah, like having a piece you have anything like a screw or anything from no component. Don't you do right? I don't oh
I think like the hip
All natural all natural weird hell yeah
Yeah, but uh, yeah shit fucking freaks me out
But anyway, that was like we've only done like two topics dude
We're fucking on fire
There's so much stuff I have written down. We're even have right now of content
Uh, I
I could I feel like I could talk for days on what we just talked about yeah, but let's let's move on
Biscuits and gravy
How do you feel about it?
Ah you've had it right
Ah, yeah, like the breakfast biscuits and gravy it's good
I have I have friends
I've one friend in particular who like that's
Every diner every breakfast place they go to same they check it out that that's what they're there for and they they compare them
It's like they're big yeah, I
Don't I'm not super hyped about it. I don't really ever order it. Yeah same. I had a
So probably similar to that friend you're talking about I had a friend who
Thought that was the best thing and talk about strong opinions would be like
Like he was it wasn't just that he loved it a lot it was like you need to also love this a lot
And he was a big like
He was always like when we go to his house and as we've gotten older like he makes that for breakfast every time
You like dude like my biscuits and gravy tomorrow. I'm like yeah
I
He's open up his own business. Yes
and
It's got it's just oh
I even with I've never I look at that meal and I'm like debauchery it's bread and goop
Literally on a fucking plate
It looks disgusting. It looks like diarrhea mixed with fucking a biscuit
And it takes it tastes like I'm eating something at a concentration camp truly. It's like dude
It's truly when I when I hear the words slop
I think of biscuits and gravy. Yeah, he's like lunch lady slopp just do it on the tray
And the fact that I know someone that it was so passionate about that meal
My
Unbelieve there's been so many times anyone like his biscuits and gravy. Yeah, it's it's an average dish
Yeah, it's just something that's so surprising me to be like this is fucking dude wait
Just wait till you have this slop man. You're gonna love this flop
It's gonna be great slop
It's just salty fatty goop. I mean it's just salt salt fat
Makes everything good. Right. It's just a whole thing like
But it's it's a weird
In soupy gelatinous nothing forms when you're just like we find shit and being like yeah, dude you're gonna like it. I don't
Gravy gravy shouldn't be as big of a piece as it is in that dish
Then any meal just like if gravy is the number two thing
That's probably great to go gravy gravy goes on
gravy goes on just you don't just eat gravy. Yeah up until that person
Gravy had always been on food
Not just you don't just you don't slurp and glit gravy at the Thanksgiving table. It's disgusting
You're an animal you could kicked out of my parents house like what are you fucking sloppy pig
Just kick you out
But I just need a thought about that because it's a good pig impression. Thanks man. I do
I got all the animals locked down
Yeah, but I need to bring that up because I I saw it's it's average
It's so I don't know who I saw recently but I saw someone talking about how good biscuits and gravy wasn't I was like
Not the friend I'm talking about I'm like what are there's gotta be some emotional connection
There's gotta be like I was growing up my mom would make biscuits and gravy because I truly don't understand
Why that's is considered like a culinary masterpiece to some people
I probably sound like such a douche saying that
Like I'm really yeah, yeah, my palates way more refined, but it's just it's locked dude. It's get over your pigs
I'm sorry. I kind of want some now
It sounds pretty good. Let's do it dude. I know where you know what maybe I'll say that's like maybe a once a year meal for me
I haven't had it since that friend in high school. Yeah, yeah
I probably don't even have it once a year, but I would I wouldn't want to eat it much more than that
Yeah, I'm just I also I don't I'm done talking about it
Sounds like you're over at dude. Yeah, I'm so super fucking over it
Okay
So this one's a tofer there's two things good
Say you get engaged okay and
You know you give the you have your engagement ring give it the ring
The engagement doesn't go
Should you get the rain back or should you get to keep the ring? Oh
Die you should she should give you the ring back. Yeah, apparently this there's there's it's literally
It's what it is the symbol of your marriage. There's there's people out there
Which it might be the minority, but I've heard people take the stance of it's a gift
So I get to keep it
Which in my head is psychotic behavior. Yes. I think that is truly psychotic meaning that that thing was purely a medium of like
The bonding of two people and that's no longer happening and so okay, so with that
In that realm of stuff all right. Was that was that the first one? Yeah, that's the first one
I think we're on the same page. Yeah, which I would imagine most logical people like yeah, did you give a pack?
It's like it's weird that you have an engagement ring that someone gave you and then you never got married
Be very strange
Keep I'm sure those people sell it right away, right? I don't know
There's a lot of freaks out there
They might be wearing engagement rings because people do it a little bit more shit than that. That's very very true
So on that note we now live in this era where diamonds are being made in labs that are chemically equivalent
Intetic ones to the ones being mined by slave children in Africa
They made a whole movie on it. What diamond we owe to caprio
great movie
There's a stigma to this
To bind because they're much cheaper the lab ones much much much cheaper than a slave diamond and
There's a stigma for of buying that
Oh if you it's yeah, you know, which is which is can you am I'm trying to get inside the people's heads who are taking that stance
I don't know anyone. I feel like I know a fair amount of people who are engaged. I don't know anyone who has that stance
I believe it's out there what it's like I know that it's I'm saying I know but I've literally heard
People be like yeah, no, it's it's like because it's a cheaper alternative
But it's so I'm just trying because the point I'm trying to make it shows like you you didn't pay for the real thing
So do you like it's just it I'm trying to get to the point of like
That thought of saying it's the cheaper alternative. I want the one that's found by a slave child
There's people who are thinking that
How how
I don't think they don't think they think about the slave part
But I think that's an excellent rebuttal if someone yeah is like get me a real diamond
Dude also are there are there any honest real diamonds?
Honest real diamonds, what do you mean like like not blood diamonds? Oh, I don't think so
I could be I don't know anything about the diamond world
I just know that the majority of them are like yeah in mines in Africa or South America or something like that but
Yeah, I also I mean you think about that whole situation how much of that's just been marketing from like the diamond industry
Of like you need this thing in your wedding and like how much we we have just fit like fallen for that fucking trap
I'll be like yeah, we need this rock
Yeah
Which granny is like the hardest rock effort right? It's hard the hardest rock and they use like diamond
Drills and shit to like mine stuff. So it does have a function which is pretty tight
but
I don't know
Guess synthetic diamonds. Oh dude
This was gonna be a bit I was thinking about so
When I was driving home, I saw a billboard for um
It was like a hospital and it was just a picture of a woman like in the woman power stance with like one one hand on their hip kind of like
Yeah, we did it sassy stance. Yes sassy stance. Hell yeah and
It was just a quote that said I'm not a number and we've all heard heard that right like at a hospital system
If you've ever been in the hospital system
It's like they you get treated kind of in a non-human way a lot of times where they poke around
You know billings a huge issue in shunts and shit. It's always hell if you're going through a lot of percent
And that phrase I'm not a number or I'm not a statistic is common nowadays right like I'm a person
I matter. Yeah, yeah, yeah
But you subtract the context from that like take out anyone having ever said that
It looks like a billboard for person who's just fucking crazy going. I'm not a number
I just imagined the therapist working with a woman who's like
I'm seven. I'm number seven
She's like we got to break it out at this you're not that you're Julie
You're Julie. It's like how Monday I was five plus two one on two days was four plus three and on Wednesday
I might be like
21 divided three that's really empowering for that person to be like I'm not a number
That's beautiful fucking crazy
Dude, I don't know what was she wearing like what this standard clothes just I don't know if I would have gotten that
Telling you brains weird
But no, I was saying I don't think I would have understood the billboard if I saw I think I would have had the same thought as you like what the fuck?
What was it advertising for just it's a hot the
There's surely the concept yeah of like this hospital will treat you like a person so like it is a hospital name
Yeah, so okay, you know small in the corner, but that you couldn't I can I know what a hospital was
It was such small it was like literally giant picture for giant picture of the quote. I was like what the fuck this is fucking weird
But yeah
Good stuff
All right, oh dude, I watched a fucked up horror movie smile. Yeah, did you see it? No, oh dude have you seen it follows? No
I'm not a horror movie guy. Okay. I need to tell you about this movie all right. There's well first let me tell you about it follows
Bear with me audience. They're good movies. I'm a big horror dude. I love fucking watching horror films, but
There's a movie guy in general, right? Yeah, dude. I fucking love some more movies dude. Dude, we should man
I also watched the department. I was home, which is always so good. So good dude
smile well
I think it's made but well, I don't want to make a consumption this movie it follows which came out a while ago the concept was
This thing demon whatever you want to call it once it has its sights on you and it wants to like take you
It just takes the form of a random person. Maybe you know this person or maybe it's just some random person
That is always coming towards you and if it gets to you it kills you and it sounds like such as like a simple concept
Dude, it's a movie filled with like
You never know who's coming towards there's one scene is walking towards you
And there's so many just horrifying creepy scenes like there's one where she's sitting in a classroom because she's in college and the the angle is like
To her face and out like the window and you just see like people walking on a college campus and like the class is going on
And like in the distance you can see like an old woman and just like a nightgown
Like walking textbook scare. Oh my god
Like
Talking about does not give it justice and how fucking creepy is and it's just like
Slowly building scenes of hurt like you always have to be on the move because it's always following you
And you have to like get away from it and it kills people
So I don't want to ruin it if you're gonna watch it, but you're not a horror guy. So if I'll ruin it
I kind of want to watch it. All right. All right. That'd be a fun one to watch
But I want to make you watch horror movies. I like watching horror movies with people. Okay. It's fucking solid
And the whole thing's got 80s retro vibes the people who directed and shot it. It's so good
That's a way to just make anything work now just put 80s music in it that time like that what a time that
Really?
I wasn't even alive to that that is
Hot take here. Yeah, do
Stranger things socks people like it for the nostalgia. Yep. Absolutely. It's like
The biggest Steven Spielberg knockoff like the vibe of a bunch of kids fighting just all good vibes
The music I know everything it's it got me in yeah for a little bit
By the end of the first season. I was like that. What yeah?
It's just it kind of started to lose its meaning. It was just like
Like you said for the vibe of it
It was it was just the feeling of like the 80s and the synth and the yeah the look and everything it's like well. Yeah cool
But that time always looks awesome. It's time and history. So anyway
smile
Similar kind of concept with like a demon thing
But when it possesses you
You start seeing people that just are like
Smiling at you in a really creepy way. You're smiling at me right now dude
And it once again not seeing it sounds kind of silly but man doesn't get on your skin
And I've seen a lot of horror movies. Oh
Just like these you never know if it's someone that's actually there similar to the it follows thing
You don't know if it's a person or if it's the demon thing just like following you and getting closer and then it chooses to like consume you and then
It's oh god. It's it's horrifying. I'm sure freaked out right now dude. We should watch it falls and then that one is there so I was very
Uh
Impressed because you know as with many movies
There's a lot of bullshit ones out there like stuff just seem pumped out all the time. That's lower quality
Smile was fucking salad in terms of horror is like damn dude people are still doing it people are still making shit
That's like
It's good to see a refreshing good movie. Yeah, that's not just a cookie cutter. There's no better feeling. Yeah, so anyway
Yeah, if we're gonna watch them. I don't want to talk anymore about it because they're fucking
Good shit. All right, let's see. Oh, I saw the new Chris rock special which was
It's pretty good. I started it. Yeah, I fell asleep to it
There's a weird
I don't want to I don't want to bash Chris rock because he's fucking all he's the man. I
Loved his his Elon Musk joke. I was just so unexpecting. Yeah
there
I think most of it was good and I don't want to talk about the rest of it because you haven't seen the rest of it but
Whenever comics do the thing of they'll say something to get not a laugh with applause I fucking
cringe like
Air it just feels wrong it feels weird
Yeah, people are going up to like make a statement and I'm like isn't this a nice comedy? Yeah, no
I don't like that. He did once again
By majority of it was awesome, but there's times where like same stuff to get a
Like yeah, you go Chris. I'm like. Yeah, what are we doing?
Yeah
What am I watching there's a lot of people out to that dude? It's it's I like a good applause every now and then but
Yeah, if you're you're just setting out. I feel like Dave Chappelle opened that door up of having like intellectuals
I was just gonna say I feel like his most recent stand-up was just
Means he's like philosophizing on yeah, which is a word but once again
I don't want to bash anyone's craft
Yeah, I love shot an open mic
Go
It's like when you go to prison you got to hit the biggest guy in the face first so that everyone knows not to fuck with you
Is that a good that's a good tip. Yeah, dude
But in the beginning like ship house first couple of new specials. I was like it was pretty cool
I like the intellectual break thing. Yeah, but now it's it starts to feel empty sometimes because it's like
You just gotta make sure your the goal is being funny. Yeah, that has to be I love a good if you can get an awesome point across
Yeah, well, it's funny. It's that's awesome. Yeah, if you're funny for the sake of being funny equally awesome. Yeah, but
Yeah, a lot of people I feel like just I feel like once you get further in your comedy career
People try to start saying things on stage instead of just be funny. Yeah, which another one I watched recently
Which had his socks because I love this guy that Andrew Santino he had his new special called cheeseburger
Um, man, I don't want to say that because he's so fucking funny in everything else
I've seen him in and he's a phenomenal area watch the show Dave with little dickie
That was the first time I saw my guys hilarious
And then him and bad friends with Bobby Lee is probably still the funniest podcast. I've ever watched my entire life
So I don't want to bash him, but I it I watched that and I was like
Man, it just shows how hard stand up is I think guys are so talented
There was some fun or something there like him talking about like Biden trying to go down basement stairs
Kamala's trying to like trap him and then he's like
Kababana like see you in there like that
That was pretty good, but he had a lot of those preachy things. Yeah, lower. He's like
Uh, how about like fuck COVID and like what?
What are we doing? Yeah, it's so funny. Stop it breaks my heart, but he's awesome
I'm just being dick and I'll probably go up. What if I just went and open like and only talk about?
Yeah, just talk about literally like you know if you'd start doing a lap hole down down to your chest and
I would laugh my ass off and the rest of the crowd are basically they'd boom me
I think maybe the first show you saw tomatoes thrown at just smacking me in the fucking face that you'd have to be so bad to get boot
I don't open my dude when did we get rid of the tomato era?
Where were you just talking tomatoes? I'd be or just vegetable studio. Have you ever been hit by fruit?
No, I think so. Have you heard so fucking bad. When are you getting hit by a fruit?
I
Was this really sure
I was in Florida. Coconut just I don't know the coconuts fruit. Now it's our story another time
Okay, I'm gonna write that one down because we're not forgetting your fruit trauma story
This is where like all your actual fear of concussions come from this is fucking fruit story. You just got bonked
Hold on. I need to write that
All right, okay, this is the last thing we'll talk about because we're come up on to
so
Recently I'm pretty sure the federal government
No, trust me. I'm not gonna go. It's not gonna go that way. This is kind of a it's it's a weirdly good thing, but I think it's
This is probably really bad take on this all right. I feel like a lot of people will be mad if I took this stance
Had a strong opinion on it here
They capped the insulin price to 35 dollars
For like a month's worth of insulin which apparently insulin has been
Pretty expensive way more expensive than 35 dollars a month for full supply
This is good
In terms of people will not die because they can't get insulin right and for type one cheaper more accessible
Yeah, and for type one diabetics. I'm like hell yeah
Type ones the one that
Listen
Is gonna come off is really mean this is not I don't want people to not have insulin. I don't I don't
This is
Spittin out
Type ones the one you get genetically right so you have no choice your lifestyle doesn't really affect it
You can probably mitigate it with some of the stuff like the plant-based stuff. I was talking about last time
They've shown some reversal or maintain. I already know where you're going with this
Free mark your free market guy right
Well, I don't know if that's you want the market pressure to no no no no no no no no no no no no or maybe that's where I'm going with it type two
You get it is totally lifestyle it's earned it's earned by what you do
By bringing
Insulin down and making everyone have access in a nation that is 70% of us are overweight 30% obese
I feel like we're just gonna lean in heavier type two diabetes typically a disease that comes with just
Eating terribly and being overweight no bees so that the the quick fix so to say that's what I'm saying is easier to get
We're putting a bandaid on a huge problem like your limbs severed and you put a bandaid on the nub like
The once again. This is not me saying people should not write insulin, but it's like we're building
No, it's the outcome gonna be we're yeah, we're building a world that like
And talking to wrong the people on those insulin could be trying to do better
But we're like opening the door of people to be like I
Could just keep I stay on this and continue to get fatter and I'm more unhealthy when when you have two choices
Keep taking insulin or get healthier
And the insulin choice becomes easier dude, and you I mean you talk less less forcing pressure to get healthy
And you look at any of the historical data on
How we go about resolving illness in first world countries. It's always pills
It's always procedure. It's never lifestyle where we're just furthering this this momentum of
Continuity. I mean eventually we're gonna die from it. We're like artificially propping up life
And then people die like
Interorable weird ways and there aren't even there half the time by the time they're 60 in their head
It's I'm coming from a place of
We need a movement that's like
For getting healthier at the core
Not more of the drug stuff
But they do have the purpose there's there's an analogy and antidepressants as well
An analogy well just it's it's it's similar how like that's a oh yeah
It's very hard to get off antidepressants and they're they're better as a short-term solution versus a long-term solution
Yeah, and it's it's create it literally in the past couple of weeks. There's been
two
separate studies that came out relating to antidepressants which are
Exercising does better and then we're talking about like 30 minutes of walking
five times a week
does better than counseling and medication combined and
The side effects of most of those SSRIs that most commonly prescribed antidepressants are suicidal thoughts dude
And then you don't have a libido you can't get fucking hard like
It's just the side effect is what you're trying to do it. It's so fucked man and it most doctors
Will not be like
What's your lifestyle like to like oh your sad will prescribe you this and it's not their fault
They just they have they have to see 40 patients that they have a 10 minute window to figure you out right
And there's big pharma who's also like
Behind all that too. It's just it's weird. It's weird to see the momentum of how sick can we get until someone's like
We can't keep doing this now
On the other side of it will just be healthy people
So there's always that positive
Yeah, that's great. Yeah, dude. I mean I'd rather see people get healthy, but
I also can't tell anyone how to live their life
If you want to die in a puddle of vomit because what are you gonna
Let's take the reverse. What if they hiked up the price of insulin. What do you think happens? People die
I mean that do you think anyone gets better when they wouldn't have
I think anyone makes a decision to get healthier
I think I think a lot I think people will die
Well, but now fuck dude. Now I feel bad
Because I think of someone you ever seen like a video of someone who's extremely obese
just
I saw one of this guy who was like 700 pounds and just like
Eating 11 ice cream things from an ice cream truck in the morning. Just this whole his whole day. They were just documenting his whole day
Not like I never feel more sad than I do
Look watching someone like that suffer because it's addiction in just a different form
But that that one is what dude
It's so sad to see someone like enable to move
Yeah, oh my god, and then it's a deeper thing. I like they just love food. No, it's always a deeper thing
It's any it's once again this person can just be have been addicted to heroin
And that would be their thing and they would not be overweight
It's just is taken form in the comfort of food. Yeah
But man dude, it's it's so sad
And every time like that's half the reason why I want to get certified as a personal trainer
And I haven't even like trained anyone is because whenever I see someone really overweight
There's something in me that's like
I need to help this person
I just don't know how because it's so complex. No, cuz I'll start eating but fuck anyway
We're at two hours
I say we ended with uh
What if either a you had a crying moment in the past four days or be
Something that made you just like
Well, I guess the crying ones from a happy well crying to be a sad thing
But how about like something on the happy note
That happened the past four days. I was gonna say this last time, but I didn't I hit my bench goal that I wanted dude
What did you hit two twenty five dude? That's a good fucking
Yeah, I was able to do that back in high school
Yeah, and lost it for a while and I was two twenty five two plates. It's like
That was like a big deal. It's a standard of feeling like a badass. Yeah
Yeah
I know like let me just get back to that and I get back to it dude. That's awesome
There's no better feeling when you're making those fucking games dude
I like that. Yeah dude
If you think I'm gonna get you but if you want to I will get you to a place like fuck dude
My body can do this it's awesome man. It's dude sounds like I'm getting like a new superpower or something. Yeah
I'm gonna give you bionic legs
That's a program I can chop off your legs. What's in your brain surgery?
Um, but that's an awesome one. I'm trying to think of in the past four days
What did you do
I'm out here getting better. What you do
I
It's there's a it's a bittersweet feeling, but I've lived with for a long time
And this is the last we're we're splitting up so to speak. It's a crime moment
No, I mean
I mean it's but it's a feeling of
Like I mean he's moving and we're still gonna pay all five of them like before we lived with each other
We just hung out all the fucking time. Yeah, but uh
I've never lived alone ever and it feels there's once again the bearness is
Not living with a good friend, but then like there's this spark of like adventure
Because then
You've been in relationships before and I'm not obviously dating or fucking
But it's like a it's it's when you live with someone. I feel like there's a level of comfort
Like what happens when I'm dating someone we're like yeah, I kind of slide into like oh, I have my social
Thing here, you know, so I it's nice to know like someone will walk through that you could just talk to
Yeah, and it like that has made me into just not
Wanting to go do I feel like I have it all and I'm getting really really comfortable and the living alone feels like a real spark of like
Okay, I got to like it's only me now
It's me and myself and I got to work on this and I got it happen
Yeah, and it's exciting like it it's gonna be hard
Yeah, but it sounds really exciting to me in terms of like gonna start working out gonna start doing open mics
We're doing the podcast gonna do the improv thing like just
Explore all this shit and I'm nice 29 I got the world ahead of me
Now I have some of my friends of time. I've also never lived alone. Yeah, so my friends that live together currently
we're saying like
When they split up eventually, mm-hmm, they'll be more intentional about hanging out and seeing each other like they'll maybe make a weekly
whatever night and
And it you kind of potentially make the bond stronger in that way versus just
Uh, this person's always here, you know kind of just built in yeah, there's there's
Not to talk to a different. Yeah, not to talk too long on it, but there's also there's the side also of like
Well
If we live separately or with if I live with anyone there's always a level of like I want my space this way
Everyone has their different take on how they want to space
And I'm nice worlds in that way you want to banchen the kitchen dude straight up
But there's just there's such differences there
But like we've been cool enough to the point of what we live for seven years, but yeah
Not having that I feel like we'll definitely strengthen relationship because it no matter who you are
If you start seeing someone like slacking and doing something or maintain something you start to like
Some consciously or consciously be like what the fuck like you start to
Respect starts to kind of go down because you're right
We're we have to both do this thing now. I'm just doing a thing and like it happens both ways
But it's just it's not that party sees it is not conducive for like
Yeah, dude, I want to like hang out more when it's like fuck dude. You're not even clean up your shit. Yeah, but
Anyway
All that being said exciting new happy stuff new chapter fucking literally
Sent the application today, so it's it's finalized ish
So
It's kind of done finalized it like that. Yeah, all right on that note
Thanks for tuning in again, and we'll see you next week
Bye-bye. Love you all
